Nursing (MSN) - Neonatal Nurse Practitioner
The Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) program prepares graduates in the care of infants from birth to age two as well as their mothers and family. NNPs practice in neonatal intensive care units, labor and delivery, well baby units, outpatient clinics and during transport services. They provide and manage comprehensive health care to critically ill and convalescing neonates, and their families, while collaborating with maternal child healthcare disciplines.
Graduates of the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Program meet the academic eligibility requirements to take the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination offered by the National Certification Corporation (NCC). Candidates who meet all eligibility requirements established by the NCC and successfully pass the examination are awarded the credential: Neonatal Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (NNP-BC).
